John Hopkins has reiterated his plan to hunt down team-mate Leon Haslam in his quest to work his way up the World Superbike field ahead of his second event at Assen.
However, having seen what the bike is capable of in the hands of Haslam, Hopkins is keen to replicate his form as soon as possible, starting this weekend in the Netherlands.
“Leon has definitely set the standards on the Stiggy Racing Honda and I will need to chase him down first before I can take on the rest of the field. I consider these first races to be part of the learning experience, but I have proved that I can do the lap times and am eager to go for a good result in Assen this weekend.”
